08 Vios Fix for Low Ground Clearance

**sm2by** · November 27th, 2009 04:02 PM

Nakakabadtrip po talaga ang ground clearance ng Vios ko, sa sobrang baba ng ground clearance nya ang front bumper ay lagi nalang po sumasayad o kumakalampag sa kalye, lalo na po sa parking ng school ko sumasabit sya palagi sa rampa ng parking entrance.

I know bakit ginawa ng toyota low ground clearance para mas stable ang ride pag higher speeds and aerodynamics niya pero I am just fed up po talaga of hearing the wonderful sound of my front bumper trading paint with the ground.

Any suggestions or ideas? as you can see here (pix below), on how I can prevent further damage.

Kahit pa syete yung approach nyo at dahan dahan sumasayad pa din?

wala po atang solution dahil sadyang ganyan ang ground clearance ng mga kotse. papangit naman kung ipataas niyo. ang ginagawa ko lang tinatantsa ko na lang yung mga bangketa, humps at mga parking block guides para hinde sumayad. palagi bang loaded ang oto nyo?

How high are the ramps at that school? My Lynx is much lower, and I don't scrape except on the steepest parking ramps.

Steep po kc talaga ang ramp at before ng parking ramp deep naman po masyado ang road gutter at may part din po na bakbak ang cemento kya pag dip dun ng gulong sumasayad ang bumper ko.

Pero pag dito po sa house namin pa syete po ako palagi ka di naman po sumasabit. Except kng padiretso ang pasok hehe

Magisa lng po ako nakasakay, yng lugar kc before the ramp alanganin po kc may mga nakalagay na mga signs at tali kya mahirap po magmaneuver lalu na kng may kotse pa sa likod..

The ramp is really steep and I also mentioned that the road gutter before the ramp is deep and there are broken parts making it deeper and harder to compensate.. I suspect that my stock rims are too small (14's) I saw another 08 vios with 17's on and he doesn't scrape his bumpers.

i think the wheels are just small.

anong size ng gulong mo? 185 or 195 na? pa 15 or 16inch rims ka. hindi na sasayad yan.

Same with our 1.3E..Minsan kasi di mo alam na sasayad ka pala sa parking gutter na pagpapark-an mo..Nadale ako neto sa parking sa isang mall sa eastwood..Pero loaded ako nung mga time na yun..Gusto ko nga magpabili sa dad ko ng 15s eh, yung pang 1.5G..Pwede na yun
